SCURVY. “Although scurvy has been known since ancient times, it became a notable cause of large scale deaths in the last 500 years. Scurvy afflicted large land armies and cities in Northern Europe, especially in winter and during siege warfare. In the age of exploration, scurvy became the principle factor limiting sea voyage, often killing many sailors after 2 to 3 months at sea.”
